    And again!

    This one isn't middled but Jonny Bairstow cannot stop it.

    This could be a breakthrough innings for Shubman Gill at number three in Test cricket. He is showing that he can adapt to conditions and take responsibility for the team.

    Shubman Gill has been Mr Calm. He's played with so much clarity and control.

  9. Ind 171-5published at 59 overs

    Need 20 runs to win

    The England fans are quiet high up in the stands. The trumpeter might even be asleep.

    This partnership between Jurel and Gill is now worth 50. It has been superb under pressure.

  10. Ind 169-5published at 58 overs

    Need 23 runs to win

    "It's happening, boys," is the shout from an England player at the end of the over.

    It needs to happen quickly if it is.

    Ben Foakes' hands go onto his head behind the stumps as Shubman Gill gets only an outside edge onto a beauty from Tom Hartley.

    That's a really good over from the left-arm spinner but another without the breakthrough England need to stop the series slipping away.

    This pitch looked like being a shocker at the start of the Test but it’s turned out to be exactly what you want, a great balance between bat and ball.

  16. Ind 165-5published at 55 overs

    Need 27 runs to win

    Ben Stokes goes back to Tom Hartley again after drinks. It was just the single over for Joe Root.

    Stokes chirps away at the end of the over to give encouragement to his troops.

    A drinks' break often brings a wicket! It's good for England to break the batters' rhythm.

    Last roll of the dice...

  18. drinks break

    Drinks - Ind 163-5published at 54 overs

    Need 31 runs to win

    Shubman Gill is confident enough to come down the pitch now. He tries to whack Shoaib Bashir but only gets a single.

    The umpires wave drinks onto the field at the end of the over. England won't mind that. Anything to break this momentum.

  19. Postpublished at 07:41 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February

    Shoaib Bashir has changed ends. He now replaces Tom Hartley.

  20. Ind 161-5published at 53 overs

    Need 31 runs to win

    Joe Root looks to the skies. There's no breakthrough and five runs come in the over.

    India are closing in.
